Owing to large shipments from theplains, the Western hay market is over-stocked, the bottom having dropped outLocal shippers are therefore obliged tohold their hay for a time.

take the job.A. J. Tatum, who was arrested a

start time ago for incest, waived examin-

ation and Justice Hawley held him to bailw the sum of $750. The charge is soserious and revolting, and in this case upto the time of arrest, so beclouded withuncertainty, that The Tribune did notrefer to the matter, although misc-

ognizant of all the steps taken in thecase, preferring to give the evidence onthe preliminary examination. His sisteris about to become a mother, and thecharge is that he is the author of her con-

dition. If guilty, the full punishmentauthorized by law is not too severe forsuch a crime. Not being able to furnishthe required bond, the accused is in jail.

Miss EUa Shattuck, the schoolteacherwho was caught in the late blizzurd inDakota and saved herself by crawling in-

to a hay stack, resides in Seward in thisState. Both her legs were so badly froz-

en that we understand they have been am-

putated. Of course this leaves the poorgirl in a terrible condition for life, excit-ing the sympathy of everybody. Num-erous contributions in the shape of moneyhave been sent her and are now beingraised; but money will not restore herfeet and legs she will be a helpless crip-ple for life. Miss Shattuck's parents arevery worthy people. Her father was asoldier, and like mest soldiers is poor.Rev. Geo. W. Martin of this city is wellacquainted with Mr. Shattuck and family.Our people have the assurance that con-

tributions for them will be worthily be-

stowed. ,

The eclipse of the moon Saturdayevening last took place according to thepreviously arranged program. We havenoticed that when astronamers get up aprogram for a matinee of this kind italways takes place according to arrange-ments. There is no postponement onaccount of the weather. Like the proph-ecies of our weather bureau, the thing isinfallible, yet the weather may interferesomewhat with the success of the show.In the present case, however.in this localityeverything was auspicious for the obser-vation of the eclipse. The moon enteredthe shadow of the earth before it wasfairly dark, the contact being on the lowerside, passing up and almost centrally overthe moon. In passing oft the view wasgrand and gave a good opportunity tocompare the relative size of the earth andmoon. Taking the segment of the circleof the shadow, the diameter was evidentlyalmost three diameters of the moon. Theearth is nearly 8,000 miles in diameter,the moon about two; thus the shadowwould decrease about 2,000 miles indiameter at the distance of 240,000 milesfrom the earth, the sun being so muchlarger than the earth, about 800,000miles in diameter. If there are intelli-gent inhabitants on the moon, they musthave felt considerably surprised to be shutn fwim thn litrht of the sun. unless thevUH A V w I

Miss Freeman, the storm heroine, hasreceived nine offers of marriage fromstrangers, one of whom is credited withbeing a resident of this city. Search hasfailed to enlighten this scribe as to thename of the North Platte man, but cir-

cumstances strongly point to I. A. F. whois always ready to recognize true heroism.

If North Platte is to have a base ballclub this summer, she should make pre-parations to enter the state league. Baseball enthusiasts of this city know by ex-

The weather yesterday was differentfrom what The Tribune bureau intendedthat it should be. The prophet connectedwith this establishment finds it muchharder to control the weather during leapyear than on other years.

Cold weather had considerable effecton the real estate market, suspendingsales almost entirely, but with the returnof fair weather the market is reviving,quite a number of small sales havingtaken place during the week . Inquiriesare made for unimproved city property.which has a tendency to brace up prices.There is every indication that the springwill witness lively transfers of this classof property, as those who have been hold-ing off expecting to see a fall in priceshave become convinced that procrastina-tion is ruinous, at least to them, for theynot only have to pay higher prices butthey lose the benefit of thedvance. Thewriter hss lived in Nebraska twenty-tw- oyears ; while he has seen the price of landstationary for a year or more at a time, hehas never seen it go back, it has alwaysadvanced. And it will continue toadvance. The man who invests his moneynow is sure to win. This is a fine countryana tne climate for central and westernNebraska is much better than that bordering the Missouri.

Social and Theatrical.The early commencement of Lent has

aooarentlv bunched entertainmentsrather closely together during the comingtwo weeks, which' will have a'tendency tomake time drag lightly on tlje hands ofour people.

This evening; Saturday tne 4th, theOsrallala Charitable Association willpresent the comedy ot Maoei ueatn atthe opera house. This entertaipment willundoubtedly be far more creaitaoie tnanusually expected irom amateur companies. As tne proceeds;- - alter paying ex-

Friday evening, Feb. 10th, is announcedas the evening on which the ladies willgive their leap year party at theopera house, and being acquainted withentertaining qualities possessed by thegentler sexl of this city, The Tribunefeels safe in predicting that the affair willbe the social! event of the winter season.It is expected that about 75 coupleswill be in attendance.

On the evening af the 14th, (St. Valentine's day) G. R. Hammond Hose Co. No.1, will give a minstrel entertainment atthe opera house.
